Summary
Performing tarawih in congregation at the mosque is encouraged for Muslims. However, a person must make sure that no obligatory prayers remain unperformed. If there are any, he must make them up first, because the fatwa states that voluntary acts of worship such as tarawih are not accepted while obligatory prayers are still outstanding.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Digalakkan seseorang muslim solat terawih berjemaah di masjid. Namun ia kena pastikan segala solat fardhu tiada yang tertinggal.
